birthday poem

now that i have cooled to you
love has been sung a thousand ways
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
i made a vow once, one only
along a river-side
perhaps
she limps with halting painful pace
sleep, gray brother of death
if i had known how narrow a prison is love
glooms of the live-oaks
the light withdrawn
stay no more
soft as the bed in the earth
